PHOENIX. Ariz., March 18. The Roosevelt dam, the great engineering work In connection with the Sail River Irrigation project, just com pleted by the United States Govern ment at an expense of more than $8. 000,000, was formally dedicated to day by ex-President Theodore Itoose veit, after whom It was named. By pressing a button Mr. Roosevelt set in" motion the machinery opening the sluice gates ami permitting the precious water to run, for the first time, into the Irrigation ditches which conduct It down through. the arid expanse of the Salt River Valley. Public officials, representing the Uni ted Slates Government and the gov ernments of Arizona and several ad joining states were In attendance and thousands or people from all parts of Arizona and niher parts or the South west vlslled tbe site of tbe great dam. Ktnl'tlillg Dimensions. The Roosevelt dam pens up the waters ol the Salt River and its tributaries at a point about seventy miles from Phoenix. There tbe river runs through a narrow gorge, across which the huge barrier of stone and cement was constructed. The point selected by the engineers is just below the point where the Tonto Creek, flowing through the famous Tonto basin, empties its waters into Salt River. The dam. which stretches across the cam-on, rises in its highest part to a height of ,2S4 roet. Its length on top Is about 1080 feet, narrowing down toward the base. Tbe thickness of the structure, which is 108 feet, at the base, tapers to 20 feet at the top. Behind the structure the waters of Salt River and its tributaries will form a reservoir 2 Let your doctor prescribe the TV OTlmiQ f rredicine.

The capacity ot the reservoir thus formed is esti mated at approximately f.6, 1128,000, 000 cubic feet, enough water to cover the whole state ot Delaware to a depth ot one foot. Immense Power Available. The waters held back by the dam will be used for the Irrigation of more than 200,000 ucros of hind In tbo Salt River Valley, and the power created at the dam will be trans mitted electrically for more than u hundred miles down the valley to operate pumps. TheHe pumps will raise underground water to supple ment tho surface supply and will thus increase the irrigable acreage. It Is estimated by tbe Reclamation Ser vlco that about till. 000 acres will be irrigated by subterranean waters, available for irrigation purposes only through the operation of such pumps. The big power house erected by tbe Government at the base of the dam is completed and ready to supply electric power at any time. It is ex pected that the power generated at the works will be sufficient, not only to supply all tho power required for the working of pumps In the valley within a distance of 100 miles, but also to furnish light and power to the settlers In that territory and to supply Phoenix with light and power for running street cars, mlllB and factories. (rent Engineering Kent. When the work was to be under taken more than five years ago. It was found that it would be necessary to construct a wagon road about 100 miles In length, to make the Bite of the dam, which is about 60 miles from the railroad, accessible. It was also found that the Governtneiit, ow ing to the difficulty of transportation, could not oluatn the required cement at any reasonable price. Both prob lems were solved, however. The wason road was blasted out of tbe rock of the canyon and a cement mill was erected near the dam site, where, during the last five . years, about S.'iO.OOO barrels of the best cement were turned out, practically all of which entered into the con struction of the dam and the build ings, embankments, etc., connected with the plant. The Salt River Valley Is In a semi tropical climate. Its products are singularly like those of Egypt. Tho orange, lemon, lime, peinel, fig and date trees flourish. Almonds, peaches, cherries and other small fruits grow in abundance. Alfalfa, corn, oats, barlev and wheat yield fine crops and by reason of their early ripening command fancy prices In tbe Eastern and Western markets. Ostrich farming is also one of the principal Industries. Today there are 750 of the plume bearers In the valley. MOTHER AND 13 SON'S HIDE OX ONE TICKET. MITSKOOE.
